From 'Stranger Things' to the Kitchen: Tiffany's Journey and Exciting Projects Ahead
Tiffany, the ’80s pop star known for her hit song “I Think We’re Alone Now,” experienced a resurgence in popularity when the track was featured in “Stranger Things” Season 5, Volume 1. She was surprised to discover this after returning home to Nashville and receiving numerous excited messages from friends. The scene in the show where the song is played involves Holly Wheeler listening to it in Vecna’s dream world. Tiffany was thrilled to be part of the show and appreciated the homage to her music.
The song “I Think We’re Alone Now” was originally released by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Tiffany covered the song when she was 15 and released her version 20 years later, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks. Similar to Kate Bush, who gained renewed popularity after her song was featured in a previous season of “Stranger Things,” Tiffany is now attracting a new generation of fans.
Tiffany shared her initial reluctance to record “I Think We’re Alone Now” due to its dancey nature and her desire to showcase her singing abilities. However, she eventually embraced the song’s feel-good vibe and recognized its appeal to listeners. Despite her initial reservations, the song became a massive hit for her and continues to resonate with audiences.
Looking ahead to 2026, Tiffany has exciting projects in the works. She will be releasing a cookbook titled “POPLife” in the spring, featuring 55 recipes inspired by 1980s music and pop culture. The cookbook, created in collaboration with Chef Alicia Shevetone, will also include new music from Tiffany. Proceeds from the cookbook will benefit the Children’s Miracle Network, a charity Tiffany has supported for nearly a decade. She is enthusiastic about the upcoming projects and aims to make 2026 a year of taking on new challenges and opportunities.
